Ruth Paine, a student at

The Women’s Dorm Council
held an open dorm meeting
Tuesday, February 17. Rich
Wolford, President of the SGA;
and Benny Pope, representing
the All College Council, spoke
to the women on the situation
in Dorchester Hall and
explained some of the results
of the last dorm meeting to the
women. After explaining the
changes that the men wanted
to institute, Rich told the
women, “The basic problem in
Ace flips her wig over new curfew.
Dorchester Hall was that we
found out exactly what our
problems were almost too late
to rectify them.” He and
Benny then expressed the hope
that the Girl’s Dorm would
unite itself before a similar
situation arose. They urged the
women to talk out their
problems and use the dorm
council to solve any problems
they have before they get
blown out of proportion.

document wi th minor
revisions, they reached an
impasse on the fifth, which
pertained to students being
tried by a civil or criminal
court and a college court at the
same time. They thus declared
a recess until the next meeting,
meaning no minutes will be
released until the entire Bill of
Rights is decided upon.
An interesting point raised
by President Jackson, affected
the autonomy of the dorm
councils. When the point was
made that some of the college’s
authority as proprietor had
been delegated to the dorm
councils, Dr. Jackson denied
this and went so far as to say,
“ The past semester has
discouraged us from thinking
the dorm residents can
effectively govern themselves.”
He also said he had received
several petitions asking that the
Open House privileges be
revoked, but he did not say
why this had not been brought
up earlier.
Wally Jeager asked Dr.
Jackson if his intent was to
“force the individuals living in
'Power^.
the dorms to conform to his
way of educational thinking.”
To the surprise of many, the
President responded, “yes.” He
then qualified his remark, in no
way negating his affirmative
answer.
Many students at the
meeting sensed doom after the
remark. If the President is
understood correctly, he plans
to place governance of the
dorms in the hands of someone
other than the students. In
saying he “was discouraged
from thinking” the students
could rule themselves he
indicated he had other plans
for dormitory rule.
Dr. Jackson then left and
the meeting continued without
him, with Mr. MacDonald
acting as chairman. Before
long, however, the group again
deviated from the agenda
trying to decide whether
enough members were present
to continue, as a couple of
faculty members had to leave
early. A meeting was set for
next Monday, March 1, at 4:00
p.m.

Judge Phillip Dorsey has
decided that the Quicksilver
Times, a Washington
underground newspaper, is
obscene and that St. Mary’s
County shal l not be
contaminated by the paper in
the future. He made the
decision Tuesday, Feb. 17, in
Leonardtown in the case of
Scott Bennett vs. the State.
Bennett was arrested as he
stepped o f f a bus in
Lexington Park with the
papers.
The Judge, who happens to
be on the Board of Trustees of
St. Mary’s College, seemed
appalled at the word
The term “R H ” appears a
number of times in the paper,
as it also does in the
Washington Free Press which is
received in the College library.
The Defense Attorney was
Neal Myerberg who at three
different points argued
insistently that classified ads in
the paper did not meet the
legal test which says the
dominant theme of material
taken as a whole must appeal
to prurient interests was
countered by Dorsey saying,
“The court does feel that these
so-called . . . ads in the
classified section are pbscene
and that they so pollute and
contaminate the whole
publication as to make it
obscene.”
The Judge answered the
various motions for judgements
